White students comprised the most prevalent ethnic group in Collingsworth County schools in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 544 students attending Collingsworth County schools, 51.7% were white. Hispanic students were the second largest ethnicity, making up 43.8% of the total enrollment.

In the previous school year, white students also made up the largest ethnic group in Collingsworth County, comprising 51.9% of the student body.

Wellington Elementary School had the most diverse student body in Collingsworth County, including white, American Indian, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial.

When compared to the previous school year, total public school enrollment in the county increased by 2.6%.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock said.
